What is School Self-Evaluation?
School self-evaluation (SSE) is a collaborative, inclusive, reflective process of internal school review.
The process of School Self Evaluation involves gathering information from a range of sources about the quality of teaching and learning in our school, and then making decisions. It culminates in the development of a School Improvement Plan (SIP) which sets targets for improvement in certain areas.
It is an evidence-based approach which involves gathering evidence from a range of sources and making judgements with a view to bringing about improvements in pupils’ learning. Self-evaluation requires a school to address the following key questions with regard to an aspect or aspects of its work:

What are our areas for improvement?
How can we improve?

It is a fluid way of being and needs nurturing throughout life”
